UPDATE: Whitney Houston ‘Not Broke’ Says Rep

Shooting down rumors that the “Same Script, Different Cast” singer was being supported only by industry friends and her record label, in a report earlier this week, the rep says “It’s totally false and ridiculous.”

“It’s totally false and ridiculous. She just made a movie with Jordin Sparks – ‘Sparkle,’ the rep told CNN Wednesday. “People get paid to make movies. She’s not broke.”

The representative’s statement falls right in line with the report here earlier this week, noting the fact that Houston has filmed ‘Sparkle’ with cast including Jordin Sparks and Tika Sumpter.
